Oh, my God, it was another Found footage movie. Now, I hate FF movies in general because I find it unlikely that anyone would keep operating their video cams or cell-phones during some horrific event. This is even MORE unlikely, as the improbable 1940's Color Film Camera that also has synchronized sound and can perform at the quality of 21st century equipment.
So our protagonists are a bunch of Russian recon soldiers who are ALSO filming a propaganda film WHILE the cameraman is on a secret mission to find this mad scientist on behalf of Stalin. (Spoiler) .
By "Russian Soldiers", I mean Western Actors doing bad Russian accents, with dialog written by people who were only paying marginal attention during WWII history class. You have military action being filmed by people who've clearly never been in the military, like dropping a grenade in a room you are in.
So let's get to the Monsters. Yes, the grandson of the original Dr. Frankenstein is making human/machine hybrids that are ridiculous looking, with big old swastikas on them so we remember they are Nazi Zombie Robots. All suspense is dissolved when you see these things, they look just silly.
The ending has the Secret Agent left to the mercy of the Nazibots by his own soldiers (who apparently have forgotten Stalin will kill their loved ones) and then having a nice discussion with the mad scientist about how he plans to end war by turning everyone into Zombie Robots.
Made worse is that you really don't cheer for anyone here. They had about two minutes of trying to make some of the Soviet soldiers likable, like the guy from Krakow who wants to rescue his wife. But then they go about simply looting and murdering civilians before they encounter the monsters. Not even sure who the protagonist is supposed to be here.
So characters you don't care about being killed by silly monsters.
